In May 2003 I visited the best van Gogh Museum in the world, the Kröller-Müller Museum, located in the heart of De Hoge Veluwe National Park. The museum is easily accessible by car and by public transport. I took the train from Amsterdam, and then a local bus took me from the train station to the museum.
It is an experience that no art lover should miss.
It took me almost 20 years to post the pictures as I had them in storage and found them only recently. As you can see from the pictures, van Gogh’s art is captivating no matter what the subject, the materials used, or the circumstances under which the painter produced the work.
All the photographs published in this post were taken and edited by me.
